Project R.E.A.C.H. was born from my passion for animals, and my desire to create awareness about animal adoption, standing up against animal cruelty, and promoting responsible pet ownership. I decided that my classroom would be a great place to start to make a change, beginning with my students! Start small. Think BIG. R.E.A.C.H.

GREAT NEWS!

I would like to start off by saying THANK YOU, again, to all of Project R.E.A.C.H.'s wonderful supporters. We are comprised of foster families, shelter volunteers, rescuers, teachers education supporters, and animal advocates from all over. Each and every one of you is AMAZING! Some of you, I have not met yet, but I am overjoyed by your passion, your good will, and your desire to help animals in need.

Many of you have expressed interest in working with me to use your knowledge, talents, and skills to present to my students, in donating craft supplies and your time, and in sharing your reach by spreading our story. I am humbled by your kindness, and I am honored to be able to work with each of you.

Here's a little bit about The Salem County Humane Society, in their own words:

"The Salem County Humane Society is a no kill shelter for homeless dogs and cats, located in Carneys Point, New Jersey. As a no kill shelter, we work hard to place animals in loving homes, but for those dogs and cats who aren't able to attract a new family, they remain at the shelter permanently and they see all the volunteers as their family.

We operate strictly by donations and fundraisers, not by any local, state, or federal government funds, and our staff is 100% volunteers. We do not perform animal control duties; each township within Salem County has its own animal control officer.

All our animals at the shelter receive veterinary care including spaying and neutering. We never discriminate on the basis of health or age, and take in the abused, unwanted and abandoned companion animals that other human beings have forgotten. We hope people will become more aware of the plight of homeless animals as well as realizing the benefits of adopting an animal in need. We hope you will open your heart and home to one of these pets who is just waiting for the right person."
